 Topic: How to upgrade 7.01 to 7.5 selectively
Posted: 05 October 2003 at 7:28pm |
Hi,
May I know how can I upgrade my 7.01 (Access 2k) to 7.5 selectively
for the following features:
- Next and previous links on posts over multiple pages
- Long text strings in messages now wrap at the 60th character to keep the formatting of tables correct to prevent left and right scrolling in a browser window
- Compact and repair access database from the admin area (Access only)
Thank you in advance.
Rgds,
Clavi

- You'll have to find the code on forum_posts.asp and copy it to your file. <edit> Actually you MIGHT be able to replace forum_posts.asp, I don't see why it wouldn't work, but make sure you make backups first, just in case...
- MAYBE if you replace the files function_format_post.asp and function_edit_post.asp it will work.... Doit at your own risk and make backups first... You might also have to replace function_filters.asp.
- See which files are those and copy them to your admin folder and then add links to it on the admin menus.

Sorry, I don't get you.
Your solution referring to which of the 3 functionalities?
Thanks.

Well, I manage to incorporate the 1st functionality by editing forum_posts.asp and forum_topics.asp. You cannot replace the files as there are other differing lines such as cookie, etc. Thus must edit manually.
As for 2nd functionality, you are suggesting that I replace function_format_post.asp, function_edit_post.asp and function_filters.asp? No extra manual editing?
As for the 3rd functionality, same question arises. No extra manual editing? Just replace all files?
Thanks.

For the 2nd I say it MIGHT work, but I just went over the code and figured it wont, so this is what you need to do:
On v7.5's functions_filters.asp look for a function called removeLongText and copy the whole function to your v7.1 file, then open your post_message.asp and add this line:
strMessage = removeLongText(strMessage)
after this line:
strMessage = checkHTML(strMessage)
That should do it...
On the 3rd one I said you will have to copy the files used for that feature and then add the links manually to your admin menus...

Brilliant, thanks fenan82! It works nicely.
Back to 1st functionality, I just realised prev and next links had been added to not only forum_topics.asp and forum_posts.asp, but also to members.asp, active_topics.asp and search.asp. I managed to edit all without difficulties except for search.asp. Somehow the prev and next links plus the droplist do not show up properly. Any idea?
Thanks.

I have no idea cuz I can't see your code, and 'do not show up properly' don't say much.... But why don't try try replacing the whole page? ....mostlikely it will work.
